Wind exists, and not just from the anus. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

No they aren't - ask a physics teacher. |

There is no situation where leaving the room may not be an option when faced with death. If death awaits outside, what's the point? Try not opening it and see if it makes no difference. I have. No real difference. It's too hot and humid outside. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Typically fans are positioned such that they just move air around in a closed room. There may be little or no connection to the outside world, and certainly not enough to effectively exhaust humid air. Maybe that is how it is in your part of the world, but common sense dictates that you have a method to extract the air from the house. |

Opening windows and getting air to move through them are two different things. If you put a fan in the window, you can then have air move in or out, depending on a combination of blade direction and shape. If you notice, a fan doesn't create the air. Air comes in one side and goes out the other. It would be a bit difficult to move air if the fan was only open on one side. |

Weren't you aware that global warming has been going on for over 10,000 years? do you ever wonder why the worlds scientists think otherwise? What are you talking about???????? The fact that the earth goes through regular cyclical warming and cooling is accepted scientific fact. *ALL* scientists know and accept that. What is going on now is a debate as to whether or not man is making it worse. Many scientists think they are. But none, I repeat *NONE*, argue that global warming has not been going on for over 10,000 years. Ever heard of "The Ice Age"? |

No they aren't - ask a physics teacher. Very true. Everything is hot. Cold is simply a comparative term about how hot something is compared to something else. Absolute zero has never been achieved. Never will be. |
